What does sustainability truly mean to you? 🌍  While definitions exist, sustainability often feels deeply personal. We took to the streets of Aachen to ask people what sustainability means to them and what makes a product truly sustainable. The responses? A reminder that we all know how crucial it is - yet so many companies are still lagging behind. 💭  From transparent resource use to honest product labeling and even the future of circular economy, the message is clear: sustainability is not just a buzzword; it’s a responsibility. And while individuals are making thoughtful choices, the bigger change has to come from businesses stepping up. ♻  📽 Watch our video and let us know: What does sustainability mean to you? #Sustainability #Innovation #CircularEconomy
